OneDrive for Business – Get your ‘well known’ folders moved to OneDrive for Business

An update is being pushed to OneDrive for Business client to help you (and your end-users) to move their well known folders (My Documents, My Pictures…) from the default location (the user profile) to OneDrive for Business; this new functionality is called Known Folder Move (KFM).

This option comes with the OneDrive for Business client version 18.116.0610.0002

You can let your end-user do it themselves or use the update ADMX to setup a GPO settings (the updated ADMX files are located here %localappdata%\Microsoft\OneDrive\18.116.0610.0002\adm).

When setting up the GPO settings you will have to provide your tenant ID; you can get it from the Properties blade from your Azure AD administration portal).

A future update will also integrates with Intune.

As a result
